About Me

Abigail Knutsen, Eastern Iowa Photographer

My name is Abigail and I am so excited you are here! Thanks for checking out my work as an eastern Iowa photographer. I would love to meet you and shoot your dream session :)

I first picked up a camera in 2017 and started taking pictures of anything and everything. I started doing portraits occasionally and with time got more comfortable with it. Before I knew it, I fell in love with portrait photography.

Let's Create Your Story

My Mission


Photography, for me, is more than just taking pictures—it’s about making people feel comfortable, confident, and truly seen. I believe the best photos come from real moments, and my goal is to create an experience that’s effortless and enjoyable for you.


My Love


I have been with my husband, Carter, since our senior year of high school. Together we have two cats; Leo and Dwight. Carter and I started dating in October of 2020 and got married in August of 2025!

Where I'm From


I grew up in Bettendorf, IA and attended Bettendorf schools until I transferred to Northeast in Gooselake, IA in January 2021. I then graduated from Northeast in May of 2021. I then moved to Ames, IA from 2021 until 2024 for college. Now I am back living on the east side of the state!

My Education


I graduated from Iowa State University in December of 2024. I got my major in Industrial Technology and now I am a Process Engineer!

Things I Enjoy


I am a very outdoorsy person! Anything to keep me in the sun makes me happy. I like to take bike rides, go hiking on new trails, and go fishing. To relax, I enjoy getting comfortable and reading a book.


Trust me, I know how important it is to capture every moment

no matter how big or small, this moment is yours to remember

Trust me, I know how important it is to capture every moment

Photography has always been more than just a profession for me—it’s a way of preserving the moments that matter most. I know how quickly time passes, and that’s why I’m dedicated to capturing every laugh, every glance, and every emotion. These are the memories that shape our stories, and I consider it an honor to freeze them in time for you.
